My Dream Vacation

I've already been to the place I dreamed the most, which was Cambodia. When i watched the movie Tomb Raider i was in love with Angkor Wat and all that the movie showed, but really Cambodia called my attention so as a kid i used to always dream with the day i would be able to go there and have an adventure like Lara Croft did!!
So on 2008 i was booked for a job in Bangkok so there was the opportunity so i flew there and shot for my Nescafe tvc and met with my friend who came from the Philippines as well, we then decided to go to Cambodia by bus since by plane was crazy expensive, we booked everything we googled hotels and choose one, so in the next we woke up early and a van came to pick us up we were like wow thats great we have a whole van, much better then i people told me before. Our van then stopped in many hotels we it soon got full!!! we drove something like 6 hours i think
we go to the pre border to get our visas done, it was a place kind dirty and the only place to eat or pee or have anything at all, we gave our passport to the so called immigration guy 30 minutes later he brought was the passport and visa all ready and they took us to the border, when we got there i was terrified with all the little poor kids but according to what the driver the are there to beg and steal so ok we got to Cambodia side of the border and we decided to get a private car instead of the bus going to Siem Reap but the taxis there only take u to the city if u are in 4 so we found 2 random chinese guys to share a car with us, 6 hour later we got there and our hotel was so nice and cute we couldn't even believe!!! so the next day we went to my dream place the Angkor Wat OMG!!!!!the most beautiful place on earth all the history behind it, i was like a kid in a toy store!!! and my friend was loving the whole photography experience, we were loving the place!!!! we went back there like 3 times thats how many temples there are to see and it's just amazing !!!! i cant even explain how awesome cambodia is!!!! i will have to finish writing about it in a next post coz my sinus is killing me right now!! if u have sinusitis you will know what i mean!!! it hurts real bad !!!!
